I put in a replacement, but with some difficulty. The movements that the machine usually makes to present the cartridge location for easy out-and-in
are not happening.

It seemed to start ok, but then the ink warning (the blue light shaped like a drop of ink) came on, and it would do nothing. I thought I'd gotten a
bad replacement cartridge, so I got another one, but the ink light came on again.

I pulled it out and put it back in a few times, and the warning ink light is no longer coming on, but the printer does not respond when I click a
document to be printed.

The connection to the Windows 8.1 machine is a USB port in the back of the machine.

I have tried unplugging and again plugging in the printer--no help.

When I try to print a document, it stays on the list, unless I mark to delete it.

It gives the odd progress message that I have sometimes seen before, such as 3/1 when I have told it to print a page. (I think that means, "printing
page 3 of a total of 1 pages in the job.")

This is the printer which is no longer supported at the HP site because they abandon support after a set period (10 years, I think it is).
